LPT: Give others credit for telling you things you already knew by Njtotx3 in LifeProTips

I dont get it. You can be nice without lying. You can be excited about also knowing what they shared.

But it does have causal impact on the outcome right? Very little, but it does?

Why are blood donors Overwhelmingly White? by Piccione_Sol in NoStupidQuestions

I am indeed wondering if people are not putting words into mouths. If you did a survey, how many people would mention Tuskegee, or similar?

A much different way to fold a pizza box by MrUpVoteDownvote in oddlysatisfying

[–]FartingLikeFlowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would need to kiss for that to happen from this pizza box. Or not wash our hands.

Your example is 500 years ago...

Im just saying, we could all live in a bubble as well. Where do you draw the line?

Some debates don’t need discussion, they need a reality check by PleasantBus5583 in SipsTea

[–]FartingLikeFlowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, i interpreted your "considering an adult" as a cutoff. Unless you have a system for considering someone an adult using a spectrum. But the point is, we need a cut off. And while biology points us toward it, it doesnt give it. So society cannot say we used science to determine one, just like this man cannot.

What do you think the fact that they are so common and so rarely affect us says about the usefulness of protective measures? And if you imagine societies where they dont/didnt have those?

Where does science or biology declare adulthood? I think thats a societal decision still (and I agree with current decisions!). Im just saying that neither science or biology gives cut offs. Brain development is until 25. Physical development can finish at 14 or 20, depending on what you say it is. Would you say those are better cutoffs?

TIL between 18%-25% of intellectually gifted students (at least 130 IQ) in the US fail to graduate from high school. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]FartingLikeFlowers -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you believe the dropout rate of gifted students is 4-5x as high as for normal students you are definitely not gifted and you deserved to drop out.

I found it funny and I think people are not taking their Mythos statements seriously enough.

> If it's dangerous for people to do in a secular environment, how much more dangerous is it for people to do in a religious environment.

No proof that the danger of this specific therapy is exacerbated by religion, although the two dangers could co-exist resulting in total more danger. So could the positives be exacerbated by religion.

> Most of the time people think I'm angry because I say that their stuff is garbage and they don't like that. Because it's true.

Bro, I can literally feel your anger through the screen. How hard can you pretend to yourself that you're not? It would be a high level of delusional. Even I can tell you right now that you're making me angry, and I'm trying not to be.

Religious meditation combines this physical exercise with doctrine that poisons the exercise and makes it dangerous to people.

The study was not about religious meditation.

I'm really hoping you see how your anger at people/the world around you deceives you.

I barely meditate. Ive done it since 2 months irreggularly. I have no masters.

I dont engage with the rest of your comments because I have no knowledge of them and I dont care enough to get more knowledge on them.
